There will be a separate exam for Level 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6). Accordingly, there will be a common second stage CBT for all the posts falling in the same level.

Though an eligible candidate will have to appear in the respective second stage CBT as per his/her merit and option, he/she will be selected, but the final appointment will be for one post only.
Thus, the question of debarring a deserving candidate from selection does not arise.
